To a bust of Midas made of dryer lint and a very large, unflattering bas-relief of the Board of Directors made of gum wrappers, there was superadded the company logo, three-dimensional, made of recycled tires, which Andrew was too cynical to deem anything but an inept attempt to distract the exhibit-going public from the EPA lawsuit, and he puckishly decided to test this possibility by arranging, with a great show of enthusiasm and magnanimity, for the artist to donate the bas-relief to the company, curious to see whether they would actually display it anywhere at corporate HQ once the need for diversionary publicity was past.

Just hours after Lord Subprimo deemed himself a youthful and puckish operator by announcing on Twitter his gift of $5 million to the education of inner-city children, he felt quite the cynical fool when his tax accountant forced him to re-tweet that the funds could only go to an offshore account and to superadd in yet another tweet that the gift could only be done in five annual installments, in all a fumbling embarrassment which convinced him to quietly cancel his Twitter account a fortnight later.

The unflinching superaddition of yet another one and a quarter percent to the wastrel's already generous monthly allowance I deemed to be perfectly adequate for any well bred young gentleman, and was certainly not, as he puckishly protested in one of his rare missives home, "just another of father's cynical ploys to drag me back from the Siren fleshpots of Paris to the unalloyed tedium of the Bradford textile industry".
